Five Misunderstandings About Case-Study Research
TL;DR: The authors examines five common misunderstandings about case-study research and concludes with the Kuhnian insight that a scientific discipline without a large number of thoroughly executed case studies is a discipline without systematic production of exemplars.
Journal ArticleDOI
What is agency
Mustafa Emirbayer,Ann Mische +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conceptualize agency as a temporally embedded process of social engagement, informed by the past (in its "iterational" or habitual aspect) but also oriented toward the future (as a projective capacity to imagine alternative possibilities) and toward the present, as a practical-evaluative capacity to contextualize past habits and future projects within the contingencies of the moment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consumption and Theories of Practice
TL;DR: The huge corpus of work on consumption still lacks theoretical consolidation as mentioned in this paper, which is most obvious when contemplating the situations of different disciplines, where there is very little common ground (see, for example, the review in Miller 1995). But the problem is no less great in individual disciplines like sociology, where output seems to have been bipolar, generating either abstract and speculative social theory or detailed case studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identity Work Among the Homeless: The Verbal Construction and Avowal of Personal Identities
David A. Snow,Leon Anderson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a study of identity construction and avowal among homeless street people, with two underlying and interconected objectives in mind: to advance understanding of the manner in wich individuals at the bottom of status systems attempt to generate identities that provide them with a measures of self-worth and dignity and to shed additional empirical and theoretical light on the relationships among role, identity, and self-concept.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ethics of algorithms: Mapping the debate:
Brent Mittelstadt,Patrick Allo,Mariarosaria Taddeo,Mariarosaria Taddeo,Sandra Wachter,Luciano Floridi,Luciano Floridi +6 more
TL;DR: This paper makes three contributions to clarify the ethical importance of algorithmic mediation, including a prescriptive map to organise the debate, and assesses the available literature in order to identify areas requiring further work to develop the ethics of algorithms.
